Before you install Replication Server, you must plan the type of SySAM license configuration you want to use. Depending on your configuration choice, you may also need to perform additional pre-installation tasks before installing Replication Server.
SySAM allows you to acquire a license using a local file or you can acquire a license from a network license server. For more information about SySAM licensing concepts and choosing a license model, see the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
There can only be one instance of a SySAM license server
running on a machine. To set up a SySAM 2 license server on a machine
that is already running SySAM 1.0, migrate the SySAM 1.0 license to SySAM 2. A
migrated license server can serve licenses for products that are
licensed under both SySAM 1.0 and SySAM 2.
For instructions on migrating a license server, see the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
Installing a new license server
Mount the CD by running the following command:
On HP Itanium:
Enter the following where device_name is the name of the CD device drive, and /RS1520HP/cdrom is the name of the directory where the CD is to be mounted:
mount -F cdfs -o ro device_name /RS1520HP/cdrom
On IBM AIX:
Enter the following where device_name is the name of the CD device drive, and /RS1520IBM/cdrom is the name of the directory where the CD is to be mounted:
mount -v 'cdrfs' -r device_name /RS1520IBM/cdrom
On Sun Solaris:
The operating system mounts the CD automatically.
On Linux:

Enter:
./lmutil lmhostid
If your machine has multiple network adapters, lmutil
lmhostid returns host IDs associated with each adapter.
Choose one of the IDs. Avoid using IDs for removable network adapters.
Save the host ID to use at the Sybase Product Download Center.
Get the license you want to install. See the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide for more information about acquiring and using your license.
Copy the license file in the licenses directory $SYBASE/ SYSAM-2_0/licenses on the network license server machine.
Start the SySAM network license server:
Go to:
$SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin
Enter:
sysam start
Validate that the license daemon is running by entering:
